ption request under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulation s . Dear Sir or Madam: I request an exempti on from 91.7(a), 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.405, 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14CFR) was granted in Ex emption Number 111138, 11395, 11428 and 11434. I will operate a DJI Phantom II , a UAS w eighing less than 7 lbs. at takeoff, and can take photos and vid eos using an on - board camera. The operations preformed by myself with this UAS are to include, but not limited to corporate video videography and aerial photography, typically to gain an additional perspective on a special event (e.g. sporting event or concert) , film subject or structure . These activities will always take place on/above private property with the prior approval of the landowner and/or event organizer. Operations under this exem ption will be conducted as outlined in the proposed rule set in motion on 02/23/2015 in docket FAA - 2015 - 0150.  Operational Limitations: Visual line - of - sight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft m ust remain within VLOS of the operator or visual observer.  At all times the small unmanned aircraft must remain close enough to theoperator for the operator to be capable of seeing the aircraft with vision

unaided by any device other than corrective lenses.  Small unmanned aircraft may not operate over any persons n ot directly involved in the operation.  Daylight - only operations (official sunrise to official sunset, local time).  Must yield right - of

- way to other aircraft, manned or unmanned.  May use visual observer (VO) but not required.  First - person view camera cannot satisfy “see - and - avoid” requirement but can be used as long as requirement is satisfied in other ways.  Maxim

um airspeed of 100 m

ph (87 knots).  Maxim

um altitude of 500 feet above ground level.  Minim um weather visibility of 3 miles from control stati on.  No operations are allowed in Class A (18,000 feet & above) airspace.  Operations in Class B, C, D, and E airspace are allowed with the required ATC permission.  Operations in Class G airspace are allowed without ATC permission.  No person may act as an operator or VO for more than one unmanned aircraft operation at one time.  No careless or reckless operations.  Requires preflight inspection by the operator.  A person may not operate a small unmanned aircraft if he or she knows or has reason to know o f any physical or mental condition that would interfere with the safe operation of a small UAS.I request an exemption from 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a)

and (b) Maintenance Inspections since they only apply to aircraft with an airwo rthiness certificate. I will, however, perform a preflight inspection of my UAS before each flight as outlined in the operating documents. I request an exemption from 91.151. The Pilot in Command will abide by the following personal protocols and controls :  Operator will only operate in reasonably safe environments that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated lights and airports. Operator will conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols as outlined in the aircraft manufacture r’s operating documents.  Operate the UAS below 50 feet and within a radius distance of 150 feet from the controller while maintaining direct line of sight visual observation (VLOS).  Land the UAS before the manufacturer’s recommended minimum battery level.  Use the UAS’ GPS flight safety feature whereby the aircraft raises to a predetermined safe altitude and then returns to point of take off should communication with the remote control operator is lost.  Contact respective airports and/or Flight Stan dard District Offices if operations will be within 5 miles and advise them of my estimated flight tim e, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent information.  Have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger. 91.7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. I assert that since there is currently no certificate applicable to my operation, this regulation is inapplicable. 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft, but it allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. Operator will not operate the UAS above the altitude of 50 feet above ground level (AGL) and will also only operate in safe areas away from the public and traffic, thus providing alevel of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe

altitudes. 91.121 Altimeter Settings is inapplicable since my UAS utilized electronic GPS with a barometer sensor.
